Still racing to the finish line... warp speed!

Well, the slog continues to get things ready for Bilbo's Bash! As I waited for glue on the display board to dry, I did flock and grass on the miniatures. Normally I don't do any of that until they are 100% completed, but circumstances dictate drastic measures!

Here we have some of the Easterling foot troops. Some are Black Dragons, some are standard issue. This is where making the upgraded troops blue/gold will be very helpful during the heat of a tournament game!

While I would have preferred to have a lot more miniatures on the board, it does occur to me that good armies tend to have smaller numbers.

The infantry captain is on the raised base in the middle.

In a very ironic twist, my Elf army (even with Great Eagle Gwaihir) has 8 more guys! Of course, this army does not have 4 chariots in it.

You can see I have a bunch of shields stationed about waiting to be painted. Those guys will look really different with those attached. I have gotten used to playing without them :-)
